Wireless Internet for patients is here at the Sackville Memorial Hospital

(HORIZON) September 8, 2016 - Horizon Health Network, in
partnership with the Sackville Memorial Hospital Foundation, is
pleased to announce free patient WiFi is here! Starting today,
wireless Internet is available for all patients at the Sackville
Memorial Hospital.

"Enhancing the comfort and care of patients is part of Horizon's
first strategic priority - creating and sustaining an exceptional
patient and family centred care environment," said Andrea Seymour,
Chief Operating Officer and Vice President Corporate for Horizon
Health Network. "We are delighted to partner with the Sackville
Memorial Hospital Foundation to introduce free WiFi for our
patients at the Sackville Memorial Hospital, to keep them connected
to those they love when they need it the
most."

The wireless network, called 'WiFi - Patients', will improve the
health care experience and allow patients to stay in touch with
family and friends through website access, social media, and
email.

Sackville Memorial Hospital Foundation Chair, Elaine Smith, is
pleased to partner with Horizon in providing the best possible
patient experience. "Having access to WiFi technology helps
patients combat the sense of isolation they may feel while in
hospital as well as allowing them to stay in touch with the
people who are important to them," says
Smith.

Seymour says Horizon is grateful for the Sackville Memorial
Hospital Foundation's continued support and commitment in providing
exceptional care to every person, every day. Wireless Internet for
patients is available at multiple Horizon hospitals, and Horizon
continues to work with local Foundations and Auxiliaries to bring
wireless Internet to other Horizon
facilities.
